Thanks...no uneveness...could be the picture. I don't see it. I always use automotive clear on the parts so they won't yellow and turn. All the stuff I use has UV protection in the resin and clear. I think I took this picture before I final wet sanded and polished it also.

I can do them in the smaller weave. I did a gear shift trim to match an E90 OEM trim and it matched perfectly. so if someone wanted more of the OEM look, I could do that as well. Here is a picture I did in the OEM weave, but did it like the textured CF trim in the new F3x series in matte finish.

I am trying to imagine what's around the switch now? Isn't it gloss blck trim or carbon fiber already? Can you make the same thing for the cup holder surrounds? I have CF steering wheel insert, console trim and shifter but the cup holder is still chrome and I hate it.
